Mine came yesterday, it’s fantastic. So looking forward to using it. The first really informative and practical growing for food gardening reference book, and with the cooking recipes and storage guides as an added bonus! It will save so much time not having to refer back to seed packets for planting out instructions, having everything in one easy to use book is great. 10 out of 10 to you both 🎉
looks absolutely amazing what a well thought out and beautiful book, a stand out from all the others out there, I will be buying two, one for each of my daughters 😊 ( already have your other one! )
Oh it's so stunning you've done such a beautiful job! I know this is sort of cheating the beauty of a hard copy but will you offer an ebook version? I'm stuck in the gulf in the middle of the war right now and i don't know if it'd ever make it here if i ordered a physical copy.
"The greatest change we need to make is from consumption to production, even if on a small scale, in our own gardens. If only 10% of us do this, there is enough for everyone."
-Bill Mollison (A Permaculture: A Designers Manual)
“The tragic reality is that very few sustainable systems are designed or applied by those who hold power, and the reason for this is obvious and simple: to let people arrange their own food, energy and shelter is to lose economic and political control over them. We should cease to look to power structures, hierarchical systems, or governments to help us, and devise ways to help ourselves.”
-Bill Mollison (Permaculture: A Designers' Manual)
These quotes aren't JUST about food. Do you knit, sew, repair engines, electronics or bicycles; bake or build? Do you code or design operating systems? …..The list goes on.
All of these skills can be shared cheaplyfreely, to supply ALL our needs.
Time for Victory Gardens Again?
"According to archived USDA fact sheets, there were more than 20 million victory gardens in 1943, which produced 10 billion pounds of food. In 1944, gardens provided around 40 percent of the U.S. vegetable supply. Tomatoes led the list in popularity, followed by string or wax beans, onions, lettuce, radishes, beets, and carrots. Two-thirds of the gardens were in towns, cities, and suburban areas."
